Gossips

A
boomerang returns back to the person who throws it. But first, while
moving in a circle, it hits its target. So, does gossip. - Vera
Nazarian

A
gossiper is the devil's postman. - Croft
Pentz

Doesn't
matter what you do, or how you do it, your neighbours are going to
talk about you anyway. - Felder
Rushing

Fire
and swords are slow engines of destruction, compared to the tongue of
a Gossip. - Richard
Steele

Gossip
is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco-pipes of those
who diffuse it; it proves nothing but the bad taste of the
smoker. - George
Eliot

Gossip
is just a tool to distract people who have nothing better to do from
feeling jealous of those few of us still remaining with noble
hearts. - Anna
Godbersen

Gossip is like military
intelligence and it is strategically vital to have up to the minute reports on
other people’s loyalties and antagonisms. Shutting your ears to gossip is all very
noble until you discover to your cost that someone you thought was a friend has
made a business alliance with an enemy and is dutifully feeding all your gossip
into his computer. - Unknown

Gossip
is putting two and two together, and making it five. - Ivan
Panin

Gossip
is saying behind their back what you would not say to their face.

is the art of saying nothing in a way that leaves practically nothing
unsaid. - Walter

Gossip is what no one claims to
like, but everybody enjoys. - Joseph Conrad

Gossip needn’t be false to be evil –there’s a lot of truth that shouldn’t be passed around. - Frank A.
Clark

Gossip
is when you hear something you like about someone you don't. - Earl
Wilson

Gossip
isn't scandal, and it's not merely malicious. It's chatter about the
human race by lovers of the same. - Phyllis
McGinley

It
is just as cowardly to judge an absent person as it is wicked to
strike a defenceless one. Only the ignorant and narrow-minded gossip,
for they speak of persons instead of things. - Lawrence
G. Lovasik

More people are run down by gossip
than by automobiles. - Unknown

Nobody will keep the thing he
hears to himself, and nobody will repeat just what he hears and no more. - Unknown

People who talk and gossip and
make it their business to be a busybody may never discover the truth about
themselves for they will be too busy talking about others. - Unknown

So
live that you wouldn’t be
ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip. - Will
Rogers

The only time
people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them. - Will Rogers

The
widespread interest in gossip is inspired, not by a love of knowledge
but by malice: no one gossips about other people's secret virtues,
but only about their secret vices. Accordingly, most gossip is
untrue, but care is taken not to verify it. Our neighbour's sins,
like the consolations of religion, are so agreeable that we do not
stop to scrutinise the evidence closely. - Bertrand
Russell

There is one unbreakable rule in
the gossip game. You must never betray your friends. - Unknown

There is, it seems, no such thing
as idle gossip. It may be the vocal form of bitch-craft, but it has its
humanitarian side too. It enables us to keep track of each other. - Unknown

Those
base men who speak of the secret faults of others, destroy themselves
like the serpents in ant-hills. - Chanakya

To
speak evil of any one, unless there is unequivocal proofs of their
deserving it, is an injury for which there is no adequate reparation.
- George
Washington

We
cannot control the evil tongues of others; but a good life enables us
to disregard them. - Cato
the ElderWho
brings a tale takes two away. - Irish
Proverb
